What is so key is that he took a stand and said it wasn’t funny, which is different from so many Uncle Tom Asians who will do the opposite.  I am tired of hearing Asian Americans defending ‘21’, Abercrombie t-shirts, ‘ching chong’, and loads of other stuff just because they want to fit in or be a model minority.

Kosuke Fukudome didn’t have to wait long for the ugly American part of his welcome to Wrigleyville.

A Fukudome T-shirt with a racist image is the hottest-selling item at a souvenir stand that sells unlicensed Cubs-related merchandise across Addison Street from the ballpark, according to Mark Kolbusz, who’s in his fourth season operating the stand.

On the front of the shirt is the traditional Cubs cartoon bear face but with slanted eyes and wearing oversized Harry Caray-style glasses. It’s accompanied by the words ‘’Horry Kow,’’ scrawled in cartoonish ‘’Japanese’’ script. Fukudome’s name and number are on the back.

they’re are people defending “ching chong”? omg.

I don’t suppose they would’ve stop selling it by now?

Nope, you can buy racism anything in America.

i don’t see how this shirt is funny.

There’s actually a lot of people that do. That’s kinda the problem.

if someone made a cracker or nigger shirt no one would be laughing...i don’t see how this is any different

:O its just one of those stupid tshirts jerks like to sell. theres nothing we can do.

I;m with niichan--other groups would not tolerate this.

people are so ignorant
